Task - Write a recount about the worst birthday you have ever had

My worst birthday would have to be when we only had
one thing to eat. We only had one tiny little snack box from
KFC. it was yum. But what I hated about was the fact that we
did not even have a birthday cake, What's a birthday without a
birthday cake and it doesn’t end there, we, like about had six frozen
coke but then it spilled so we had to start the birthday after they
came back from getting frozen, it was so…. Long. Finally they
came and I was starving. We finally started the birthday and enjoy
the rest of it, but it was still the worst birthday that me and my my brother
has ever had. Hopefully, this year my birthday would be much better.

Speech writing is a very valuable skill. When you have the ability to
write speeches you can argue your way through your words. Lawyers
do that all the time.

Task - Write a one minute speech about one of these topics

• Teachers should be paid more money

I think they should be paid more, because they don’t come here
for nothing. Teachers work hard to setup the day for their classes,
and it’s a lot of work to do. They take care of us for at least six hours.
Teachers should be paid more because they need it for their families.
Teachers have a life outside of their work. Teachers need the money to
either buy for their kids, or buy more school supplies, for the students.

• We should have a Mcdonalds restaurant at every school

Having Mcdonald's restaurants at school would be a really bad idea
because if their parents buy their kids food, they wouldn’t even bother
to eat it. They would waste it and throw in the ground. Also it would be
a big distraction to the students because they wouldn’t do their work,
they would just think about the Mcdonald’s and wait for the bell to ring.
That is why I think Mcdonald’s should not be added to schools.

• Driving skills should be taught at primary school

Driving at school, that is a obviously a bad idea, I mean it should be
taught at a driving school, like teaching kids to drive it’s legal right.
It's a good thing they could be taught to drive but Maybe when
they are at least 18 years old or even 20 years old. They eventually
will learn when they are older. That is a why a disagree with driving
skills being taught to young ones.

• Glenbrae School should have no uniform

I, disagree because we need to represent our school, when we
are lost we would be able to noticed if they are from our school,
but like their are different schools they look like our school but we
still have to wear uniform. Uniform, will make those who don’t show,
who don’t speak up, be recognized .

• Every student should have a free day off school each week

I Disagree because students must come to school in order
to learn and get a perfect attendance, you can get a Certificate
for perfect attendance, in case you don’t get a end of the year certificate.
